You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 e) DS-GMO or Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 f) DS-GMO for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. We then no longer process this personal data for these purposes, unless we can prove compelling reasons worthy of protection for the processing, which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

In individual cases we process your data for direct advertising purposes. You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising.

If you object to the processing for direct marketing purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

Revocation of consent: If you have given us consent to the processing of your data, you can revoke this at any time with effect for the future. The legality of the processing of your data until revocation remains unaffected by this. You can also declare a revocation in addition to the ways mentioned under "Assertion of your rights" in accordance with the respective instructions for "Exercise of the revocation" in the section "Services & Cookies".

5.3. Cookies

We use cookies on our website in order to offer a wide range of functions, to make the use more comfortable and to optimize our offers. Cookies are small text files that are stored by are generated on a web server and stored on your computer during your online visit using the web browser you are using.

We use so-called "session cookies" for this purpose. These are automatically deleted after the end of your browser session.

We also use long-term cookies, which are mainly used to provide you as a visitor to our website with permanently recurring settings. This enables us to adapt our website individually to your wishes. Long-term cookies also allow us to analyze the usage behavior of visitors, but only within the validity period of the cookie.

Furthermore, in connection with the integration of certain third-party services (see above), additional cookies may also be set by their providers (so-called "third party cookies").

If you do not wish cookies to be used, you can prevent cookies from being stored on your device by making the appropriate settings in your Internet browser. Please note that this may limit the functionality and range of functions of our offer. In addition, we will only set certain cookies if you have given your prior consent (see below). You can also make use of special options to object to certain cookies (see below). Please refer to the information in the following tables for detailed information on the type, scope, purposes, legal bases and possible objections to data processing in connection with these cookies.

The following cookies are used on our website (the information below may be on a sub-site):

a. Session ID

To make browsing our website easier for you, we use a so-called session identifier, which is assigned to each visitor at the beginning of each use of our website. This session ID is used by our server to recognize you or your computer/browser as the same visitor even though your IP address may have changed in the meantime. This session ID enables the assignment of several related requests of a user to a session. The session ID cookie we use is only valid until the end of a session. When you exit your browser, it is automatically deleted.

b. Piwik – Cookie

We use long-term cookies from the Piwik web statistics software to create web statistics. For further information, please refer to item 5.3. a.

c. Facebook - Buttons

This website uses so-called "social plugins" of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. These social plugins can be recognized by the Facebook logo.

With the "Like button" and the "Share button" you can express your agreement to our online offer or simply recommend our content to your friends via Facebook. We have decided not to include these buttons already activated on our pages. They must first be activated by a mouse click. The reason for this is that data is transferred directly to Facebook by integrating buttons that are already activated. In theory, this would allow Facebook to create surf profiles of the users of our website. Our disabled buttons do not contact Facebook. The buttons are only active after you have activated the function of the buttons by clicking them. Only from this moment a connection to the servers of Facebook is established and you can use their functions. This activation is only valid for your current visit to our website. With each new call you have to activate the buttons again to be able to use them. If you are not logged in to Facebook, you will be prompted to log in to Facebook in a new window and will then have the opportunity to make your recommendation or share content. If you are already logged in to Facebook, you can make your recommendation without another window.

We have no control over the amount of data collected by Facebook in this way. If this button is activated, Facebook will in any case receive the information that you have called up the respective page of our Internet presence. If you are logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook can associate the corresponding views with your account. If you also interact with the social plugins, i.e. click on the "I like the button", the corresponding information is transmitted to Facebook. Even if you are not a member of Facebook, it is possible for Facebook to find out your IP address via the social plugin and save it if necessary. For details on the purpose and scope of Facebook's data processing, collection and use and your rights and setting options, please see Facebook's Privacy Policy:

If you do not want Facebook to collect information about you through our website and link it to your membership information, do not click the buttons (as described above). You can also block the social plugins using add-ons for your browser, such as the Facebook plugin with the "Facebook Blocker", which you can download here.:

d. Vimeo – Video Plugin (Google Analytics / New Relic)

To present our product videos, there is a plugin of Vimeo LCC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA ("Vimeo") implemented on our website. This plugin uses cookies. As soon as you call up a subpage of our website on which such plug-ins are installed, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Vimeo LCC servers. Because of this direct connection, the data required for this connection will be transmitted to Vimeo LCC as described under II.1.

If you have a Vimeo account and are logged in to it while using our website, Vimeo LCC may associate your visit to our website with your account. If you click on one of our videos, the Vimeo LCC will receive this information. Whether and to what extent Vimeo LCC uses this data is beyond our control. In this regard we refer to the further information of the Vimeo LCC: http://vimeo.com/cookie_policy

If you do not wish data to be transmitted to Vimeo LCC, please deactivate the storage of cookies in your browser for the Vimeo LLC website or set your browser so that cookies are generally not stored on your computer.

The Vimeo plugin uses other plugins, on which we have no influence. To our knowledge the following plugins are used:

Google Analytics

The Vimeo plugin uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. "("Google"). The Google Analytics cookie enables the analysis of your use of the Vimeo plugin. The information generated by the cookie about your use is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google Analytics serves to evaluate your use of the Vimeo plugins in order to compile reports on the activities and to provide other services associated with the use and Internet usage. You can prevent cookies from being stored on your computer by adjusting your browser software accordingly. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link.

The Vimeo plug-in also uses the "New Relic" plug-in from New Relic Inc. 188 Spear Street, Suite 1200, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA. This plugin is used for the technical analysis of the servers used for availability and performance monitoring of the Vimeo plugin. For this purpose, system relevant data such as usage times, used hardware and software are collected and user profiles are created. Cookies are used for this purpose.

If you call a subpage of our website on which the New Relic plugin is active, a direct connection to the servers of New Relic is established. New Relic will be informed of this with regard to the data already listed under II.1 Logfiles. If you have a New Relic account and are logged in, New Relic may associate your visit with your account.

The exact purpose and scope of data collection and processing by New Relic and the rights and setting options for protecting your privacy can be found in New Relic's privacy policy: https://newrelic.com/privacy

If you do not wish New Relic to collect data, you can prevent this at any time by deactivating cookies in your browser settings.
